    Can Murray lay a tackle and is he accountable defensively?

    Review Round 11, 2026 - GWS vs. Brisbane Lions

    The lack of defensive pressure, and ability to apply it, is the biggest issue. Unless we totally control the ball by dominating clearance and uncontested marking we can't seem to slow the game down or at least match the speed of the game when playing quicker teams or teams that move it quick...

    Liked the look of Annand. Would be handy to pick up someone now that can play straight away. Gallop has been really good down back but I think we need him forward this season. Gardiner is injury prone and Payne has no return date and might be better served to get a full preseason before...

    2nds 2026 Lions Reserves and VFL thread

    One of the worst teams we've put out in a long time. Skill level is deplorable

    Review Round 10, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Geelong

    Could have been worse tbh. Defensive pressure not there and sloppy turnovers most of the night

    Review Round 9, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton

    A win is a win and we smashed them first half. Momentum swings happen in games but the worst part of the 3rd qtr was the first 15min. It was similar to the Melbourne game where we had a chance to kill it off completely but wasted some forward entries by being lazy or too cute with disposal...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    That 2024 distribution included costs associated with the premiership cup. They gave us an extra 5m to cover the costs of delivery and engraving. Cost of the ribbons was paid by the club

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    No they don’t, the rest of our distribution is going to other areas to keep the club operating and alive, and we still would need more. Or do we think there is no other cost to running a club? They also give grants for NGA’s and clubs do sweet stuff all other than check birth certificates and...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    I didn’t claim that’s reasonable. I said it needs to be fairer. The whole system. You said the AFL heavily/ fully funds our academy? That’s factually incorrect. Regardless of what we do with the 2 million we still pay for the academy. It’s not free or covered by the AFL. We generate that money...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    If you’re referring to northern academies. We get around 600k from AFL and put in 2 million per year ourselves to fund it. The hysteria about the academies creating a dynasty is hilarious. We got lucky with father sons but we’ve had one top 10 academy pick taken only last year. A lot of academy...

    If we had a MSD then we would have to pick up a ready to go state league key position player. We are copping too many injuries in that area of the ground. Forward or back doesn’t really matter, we have injuries in both areas. A project ruck is not for the MSD. Guys like Waller will be around...

    There should be a rule that if you bid on an academy player and it’s not matched then you have to pay a player development compensation fee to the host club. Say 20k for first round picks. We surely have to get something back for developing players for other clubs. What a joke of a comp

    Preview Round 7: Brisbane Lions v Adelaide Crows Sunday 26 April 2026 3:15 PM

    I think Marshall needs to show more mongrel. I would have played him this week but that’s why I think he’s still out. Tunstill is too weak. Just gets brushed off the ball too easily but hopefully can play a role. Joyce will be in the final team I think. We probably want to play an extra tall...

    Review Round 6, 2026 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

    Umpire 28 in particular had an absolute mare. That goal square free kick was ridiculous and a key moment in the game. Other than that they edged the midfield second half and made most of their chances. Thought Chandler killed us. We didn’t get that sort of quality from guys like Bailey and...

    Review Round 4, 2026 - Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood

    Easy win against Nick Daicos FC. Laughable how much they rely on one player. North midfield will be a much tougher test next week.
